The Growth of a God-Chapter 596 - 6: All Are Ascenders

In the Bone Forest of Skeleton City.

"Your starting point is the endpoint for many, why do you still care so much about your combat power?"

Sitting helplessly on a bony chair, Yu Wei, specially appointed as the "Fifth Generation Skeleton Elder," sighed.

Called the teacher of the Fifth Generation Skeletons.

Yu Wei often felt more like a guardian of a group of unusually mature children.

Especially when dealing with Kangtao, this problem child, Yu Wei even felt a sense of frustration, like iron that won’t turn into steel.

Yu Wei admitted that compared to the [Ascension Ladder] of the Mountain and Sea Realm, the advantage of the Celestial Beings in battle was not outstanding.

But the problem now is, in battle, the Celestial Human Realm is just not outstanding, they’re far from being weak.

After all, in most worlds, becoming an Ascender is already a huge fortune, few would be so picky.

Moreover, the ever-changing magic and divine techniques of the Celestial Beings are their greatest advantage in traversing myriad worlds.

Even if you take a step back, the [Ascension Ladder] of the Celestial Beings was born with the Gods as the goal, with high compatibility.

No matter if it’s a primary or secondary cultivation, becoming a Qi Cultivator would not hinder the Mountain and Sea People from exploring other [Ascension Ladders].

The only difference is the time and effort needed to explore two [Ascension Ladders] simultaneously is not something ordinary creatures can afford.

Yet, this is the least worth mentioning among the Mountain and Sea People.

"It’s just an endpoint now."

The prematurely mature Kangtao stared at Yu Wei persistently, his expression unchanged.

"I’ve read Shuli’s ’Theory of Civilizational Development’ and understand that ’Everyone an Ascender’ is the future of the Mountain and Sea Civilization."

"Right now, I’m just taking advantage of my birth timing to become one of the ’Everyone an Ascender’ earlier."

"After a few thousand years, when the Fifth Generation Skeletons become the mainstream, my advantage will no longer be an advantage."

Even though it was about a future thousands of years away, Kangtao spoke as if it would happen tomorrow.

This distinctive sense of time of the long-lived ones often left Yu Wei quite unaccustomed.

"I don’t want to be one of those ordinary people; I want to be like the pioneers and forerunners, paving a new path."

Speaking firmly, Kangtao’s stubbornness was another characteristic of the Skeletons.

"Want to be seen as a pioneer or a sage by future generations?"

For the first time knowing that Kangtao had such aspirations, Yu Wei couldn’t help but be taken aback.

Although it’s long been known that the Mountain and Sea People are extraordinary.

But what Yu Wei didn’t expect was that even a "child" like Kangtao had such great ambitions.

— Perhaps this is a crucial reason why the Mountain and Sea Civilization is so powerful and peaceful?

The thought crossing her mind, Yu Wei slowly spoke.

"Maybe my previous teachings led to some misunderstandings within you!"

"Have you ever thought that the truly powerful is always the person, the individual, not a particular ability or path."

With Kangtao’s slightly confused look, Yu Wei sunk into memories of the past.

"The same as cultivators, some can only barely survive like ants, while others can become suns shining upon the world..."

"What do you think causes this difference?"

Without waiting for Kangtao’s answer, Yu Wei further asked.

"If you think the ’Celestial Being’ is a weak ’Ascension Ladder,’ have you thought about why your elders led you down this path?"

"Maybe you think your elders limited your choices, allowing you only to become a Celestial Being."

"But is there another possibility, your elders just raised your baseline and never limited your future achievements."

"Previous Skeletons or other Mountain and Sea People also couldn’t decide their race and talents at birth, yet they still became what you aspire to."

With a slight pause in her tone, Yu Wei looked at the obviously confused Kangtao and said.

"Martial power can never decide the future direction of this world; only wisdom can."

"Because of wisdom, you are naturally an Ascender..."

"Because of wisdom, you can grow faster than other cultivators..."

"Because of wisdom, you have the privilege to ponder those absurd, erroneous thoughts..."

"And because of wisdom, I can sit here correcting those thoughts, making you seriously think about your future..."

Looking at the seemingly epiphanous Kangtao, Yu Wei suddenly shifted tone and smiled.

"If you really intend to pursue martial power, I actually know of a better solution."

"As far as I’m aware, you have a special project within your Mountain and Sea Civilization called the ’Artificial God Plan.’"

"The most important aspect of this project is the adaptability to ’Qi,’ which is a perfect fit for your newer generations..."

"As long as you can become a pilot of an ’Artificial God,’ you can directly possess power comparable to Gods!"

She didn’t continue because Yu Wei knew Kangtao must have understood the meaning of her words.

"Is this... the power of wisdom?"

Tilting his head slightly, it was as if Kangtao had opened the door to a new world, realizing for the first time how futile his pursuit of "martial power" was...

Meanwhile, in the museum of Skeleton City.

"Are you really at ease letting that foreigner named Yu Wei teach the Fifth Generation Skeletons?"

Frowning at the nonchalant Tianyou before him, A Li’s tone was mixed with doubt and a sense of unease.

Simply due to the Qi Refining skill, the current Mountain and Sea Realm does not lack individuals capable of teaching the Fifth Generation Skeletons.

In contrast, to A Li, Yu Wei is a synonym for "untrustworthy."

Clearly promised to return the [Creation Gold Coin] to the Mountain and Sea Realm, yet ended up using it during the previous war without permission.

This directly led to Yu Wei’s unfavorable impression in the eyes of A Li, and indeed, a significant number of those in the know.

If not for Tianyou’s strong advocacy, Yu Wei could never have returned to the Mountain and Sea Realm.

"Relax!"

"I know what you’re worried about, but your worry is really unnecessary."

Lazily opening his eyes, Tianyou, lying horizontally on his seat, explained helplessly.

"Actually, if Yu Wei could really watch her world’s destruction without using the ’Creation Gold Coin,’ I’d be more reluctant to let her teach the children."

"Moreover, given another chance after she broke the promise, do you think she wouldn’t be serious about teaching the children?"

The logic was sound, but A Li still couldn’t comprehend Tianyou’s persistence.

"Is there no one else but her?"

"Surely you have better options!"

Not just from the entire Mountain and Sea Civilization, even among the Skeletons, there were many individuals more competent and outstanding than Yu Wei.

"If we only consider educational qualifications, she’s indeed not the most suitable."

"However, does the current Mountain and Sea Civilization really lack those general talents?"

Before A Li could retort, Tianyou finally revealed his true motive.

"Yu Wei is a foreigner and has experienced war and apocalyptic crises..."

"Most importantly, she has a perspective that typical Mountain and Sea People lack, enabling the children to know how the world outside of the Mountain and Sea Realm exists."
